Greene addresses one and only one traveler and traveler's clock. The
limitations of the speed of light create a minimum of two travelers and
two traveler's clocks, the real traveler and clock, and the virtual
traveler and clock.
And what makes one traveler "real" and one traveler "virtual" in your
opinion?

The way light transmission of information to observers, regarding time,
works of course:

Src(t0)................................|Obs(t0)|
Src(t1)>(t0)>......................|Obs(t1)|
Src(t2)>(t1)>(t0)>..............|Obs(t2)|
Src(t3)>(t2)>(t1)>(t0)>......|Obs(t3)|
Src(t4)>(t3)>(t2)>(t1)>|(t0)Obs(t4)|

(Src-real(t4)..........................|Src-virt(t0)Obs-real(t4)|)

Or far better, far more like it, in my view:

Src(t0).....................................|Obs(t0)|
Src(t0)>(-t1)>.........................|Obs(t0)|
Src(t0)>(-t1)>(-t2)>................|Obs(t0)|
Src(t0)>(-t1)>(-t2)>(-t3)>.......|Obs(t0)|
Src(t0)>(-t1)>(-t2)>)-t3)>|(-t4)Obs(t0)|

It would stretch out (in between) for traveling sources going aways
from observers.

It would squeeze (in between) for traveling sources oncoming to
observers.

Remember that time stops (t = 0) at the speed of light.

One traveler is no more real than the other.

I'm sad to see such an answer from you. You diminish yourself. I'm neither
of Berkeley's breed dealing only in 'immaterialism' nor am I of Johnson's
breed attempting to refute all immaterialism by kicking rocks. I can see to
work both these facets of a multi-faceted Universe at once and will continue
on in doing so.
